How to Make Corn Syrup Frosting

  1. In a large, deep mixing bowl, combine 2 large egg whites and 1 ½ cups (300g) light corn syrup.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat at medium speed until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Then, increase the speed to high and continue beating for 12-15 minutes, or until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. This frosting is enough to fill and frost two 9-inch diameter layers.
